Question
On which HF bands does a Technician class operator have phone privileges?
Answer Options
- A) None
- B) 10 meter band only
- C) 80 meter, 40 meter, 15 meter, and 10 meter bands
- D) 30 meter band only
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Technician class operators have only one area of phone (voice) privileges on the HF (High Frequency) bands, which is a small segment on the 10 meter band only (28.300 MHz to 28.500 MHz).
While Technicians also have limited CW (Morse code) privileges on the 80, 40, and 15-meter bands, they have no phone privileges on those lower-frequency bands. Their primary voice privileges exist on all the VHF/UHF bands (above 50 MHz).
